Converting from Sendipity to Wordpress

07 Feb 2009

Alright… my blog is now officially migrated from Serendipity (s9y) to Wordpress. I created the new webdesign a while back and made a few small changes tonight just before the switch… let me know if you find any problems with it. The design was inspired by a Wordpress theme by webdemar.com.

A while back I found a s9y importer on Michael Tysons weblog which worked pretty well. Since my last visit a german guy had made a few small changes to it to import extended posts. I had a few of those so I grabbed his script. I had to make a small change to the import script in order to get drafts imported as drafts (and not published). I also had to insert an extra newline before and after the more-tag () in order to get my markdown working as intended.
